WaPo On Obama: ''he has done his share and then some of telling people what they want to hear''

Topics: Political News and commentaries

As Jennifer Rubin quips - "Now they tell us."

The Washington Post, a bit late for Democratic primary voters to consider, notes that despite Barack Obama's high-minded talk about rising above the Red state-Blue state divide, "his political program and his legislative record are almost entirely blue." Wait: he's really liberal? Who knew! Then the Post confesses that

... he has done his share and then some of telling people what they want to hear: on middle-class tax cuts, on trade, on how easy it will be "to end a war that isn't making us safer." There's been a lot less in the way of straight talk about tough choices.

Well, come to think of it ,we haven't heard him explain the economic impact of large tax increases during a recession or how exactly visiting with dictators and withdrawing from Iraq won't embolden our enemies. (He might even wade through to page 18 of the same newspaper, look over the story of the latest Guantanamo releasee who engaged in a suicide bombing and explain how one of his party's favorite ideas-shutting down the reviled Guantanamo-won't endanger more lives.)

More ...

Although most of us Center-right folks already know the answer (personally, I claim to be an Independent - leaning right although my wife calls me a Democrat when she's mad at me...), I've struggled a bit on expressing why it is that news travels so slow at Fox and other MSM, and most particularly why the truth about Obama is so slow to surface. It's as though there's a conspiracy of sorts underway in the media to protect Obama. This morning I spotted Andy Martin's piece over at PR-Insider, in which he offers an explanation:

Media other than Fox, many of which are unashamedly pro-Obama, are really not interested in unpleasant truths about Obama. More critically, Democrats themselves discourage and suppress truth-telling by asking their presidential candidates to avoid "personal attacks." Constant demands over the past year to "keep it positive" were directives to protect Obama from serious inquiry and exposure.

Tuesday night the cover-up was continuing. The airwaves were saturated with pundits saying it was "all right for Hillary to stay in the race," so long as she kept her comments "positive" and did not attack or expose Obama in any fashion. In other words, the mainstream media and leading Democrats have been in an active but informal conspiracy to suppress the truth about Obama.

Aha! Bingo! Albeit not a revelation, but it's great to see someone else write the word - conspiracy. Although I know very little about Andy Martin or his credibility, I do know that what he says now has been completely obvious to everyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. As for why so many people are so quick to fall for Obama's smooth-talking, empty, rhetoric? My quick answer is naiveté, the inexperience and lack of wisdom naturally inherent in youth, the lack of education and the distorted world view of Black culture, and the liberal mindset of educated Whites. My long answer is shorter than my first and far too politically incorrect to write here.

Now comes my follow-up: Who is behind it and why? The obvious answers are far left liberal bias of journalists, editor bias, and management bias; and money. The next follow-up is of course - who's money and why?

Oh, I do have one more question: Who is George Soros! (Just a random thought)
